International collaboration

In our international collaboration we, for example, open joint calls for proposals and launch international research initiatives. Forte contributes to directing the investments towards areas crucial for the transformation to a more socially sustainable society. Read about our ongoing collaborations on the links below:

We promote Swedish research on the international arena

Forte also works in several ways to promote the opportunities of Swedish researchers to collaborate internationally. We want to contribute to making Sweden an active player in European research policy, and are working continuously to improve the research infrastructure in our three main areas: health, working life and welfare. Forte works to create synergies between national and international initiatives.

The aims of Forte’s international work is to:

• stimulate Swedish participation in European and international research collaboration
• increase the utilisation of European and international research funding to enhance national funding for research, and to
• work to enable increased mobility for researchers

Contribute to global sustainable development

The UN has adopted Agenda 2030 as a framework with 17 global goals that the countries of the world must achieve by the year 2030. Sweden wants to be a leader both in sustainability work and investments in research and innovation, and thus has an opportunity to take an important role in actively contributing to Agenda 2030 and the sustainability goals. Forte contributes to the implementation of Agenda 2030 by funding research that is relevant to the agenda about for example public health, sustainable working life and gender equality. This work also permeates our international collaborations.
